Hi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI thought I had posted earlier today, but it isn't showing up here. I hope to make it to your Victorian Open House this weekend. My question is regading lye....My sister and I want to make soap again (we made it with you at the class in Ansonia). But where can we get the lye locally - I think you said somewhere in Naugatuck? Thank you!
Oh Dawn, I wish I lived close enough to come visit. This sounds like a wonderful weekend event :)
